Chapter 623: Conversation Between Father and Son (2)
Guan Changyun glanced back at the tent, and then pulled Hu Desheng, who had been chattering, away.
In the tent, Gao Yunjin and his son did not speak.
The two stood in front of the sand table in the middle of the tent, silent.
Gao Yunjin seemed to be all his thoughts on the sand table in front of him, looking at the terrain and landform, trying his best to think about something.
And Gao Zixia lowered his head and told himself in his heart to be calm and not to make his father angry.
There was fog in the morning, so the sun was always hidden behind the clouds. Only now, the sun is finally revealed.
Sunlight shines through the windows and into the house.
Gao Zixia looked at his father's back from behind.
For the first time, to see my father's back so closely.
It seems to be a lot heavier. It's not as upright as in the past, when I was a child.
Recently, in recent years, the war with the Jurchens.
My father worked hard day and night in the barracks to set up troops.
Gao Zixia saw it in his eyes and was also very distressed.
When it comes to the mouth, it is even more unspeakable.
On the other side, Gao Yunjin has been waiting for his son to speak.
However, he was still disappointed.
Perhaps, since childhood because of his strictness. Therefore, the son has not been able to take charge on his own.
Over the years, his son has been by his side, although Gao Yunjin has not praised him, he has always looked at his son's efforts to gain his own recognition.
But Gao Yunjin, who has been looking forward to someone inheriting everything from him, can retire as soon as possible, and Gao Yunjin, who is living with his wife, still feels that his son's character is not calm.
Take this morning's events as an example, the real princess's affairs, where is his turn to worry about a general?
Gao Yunjin could see at a glance that his son was too concerned about the matter of the real princess. It's a loss, I saw it early, and I didn't wait for my son to do something irreparable. Otherwise, let people know how embarrassing it will be for a son to be tempted by a married woman?
Gao Yunjin sighed when he thought of this.
Speaking of which, he really had some expectations just now, even if his son rebelled against himself for a woman who was not accepted by everyone. It also shows that this kid is a bit bloody. It's a pity, though.
All expectations were drowned in silence.
"Hey," Gao Yunjin sighed almost inaudibly.
Then, he said, "What do you want to ask?" ”
Gao Zixia was still immersed in the realistic feelings of discovering his father's old age, and was disrupted by his father's question. For a while, I didn't know how to speak.
"If you want to ask, just ask, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, where is the blood of young people?" Gao Yunjin couldn't suppress his anger.
Gao Zixia was provoked by his father and blurted out, "Father, when are you going to rescue the real princess?" ”
"Are you so worried about that woman? Do you know what you're doing right now? Gao Yunjin turned around, faced his son, and asked.
Gao Zixia raised his head, looked at his father, and said, "Father, I don't understand. Now the whereabouts of the true king are still unknown, if something happens to the real princess, will the real princess be able to give up at that time? ”
"If the True King's Mansion is not good, what can it do?" Gao Yunjin couldn't hide his loss, and his son didn't show his heart to him in the end.
Facing his father's disdainful expression, Gao Zixia was shocked.
"Do you think that I'm just a general? Although there are some contributions to the country as a whole. But the ancestors of the True Wangfu were one of the heroes who followed Emperor Taizu to open the country. Am I nothing compared to that? Gao Yunjin said coldly.
"Fathers, sons don't think so. It's just that both the true king and the true princess have contributed to the country's social welfare. The plague in Bazhong the year before last, Tianyu No. 1 ......"
"Don't talk about it. I know all of that. I also understand that one of them is a righteous prince, and the other is the emperor's righteous daughter, a veritable princess. But so what? ”
"We can have all this because of the Gao family. Therefore, only when the second prince is on the throne can we live better. Do you understand? Gao Yunjin never said this to his son in the past, because he always felt that his son was too young, and if he was given too much pressure, he might be crushed.
But now, Gao Yunjin feels that it is time to make everything clear. Although, over the years, he has been born and died for the country, and his success today is inseparable from his own efforts.
But Gao Yunjin also understands that if it weren't for the backing of Emperor Gao and the Gao family, how could he be a child of the Gao family, no matter how strong his ability was?
Gao Yunjin has always remembered the kindness of the Gao family. Even if he understands that the Gao family supports himself like this, it is just for the second prince. But Gao Yunjin knows how to repay his kindness, and has always been loyal to the Gao family and the second prince.
"Father, how do you ......" Gao Zixia had already guessed what his father was going to say.
But the education he received since he was a child made him firmly believe that he was loyal to the emperor and the country.
Because he grew up in Youzhou City since he was a child, he doesn't have too deep feelings for the second prince and the Gao family. Therefore, it is difficult for Gao Zixia to understand the feelings that his father is talking about now.
"Do you think my father is pedantic?" Gao Yunjin laughed at himself, "You are living in a good time, unlike your father, who ...... when I was a child."
Gao Yunjin's eyes unconsciously flashed through the hungry and cold life when he was a child, and when there were many brothers and sisters, his mother had a difficult choice for who to eat for a bowl of wild vegetable porridge.
"Father," Gao Zixia called cautiously.
"Oh," Gao Yunjin broke free from the cage of memory and continued, "You just need to remember that we are from the Second Prince's faction. The second prince has always wanted to win over the centrist represented by the real king. But all these years, the true king has always disagreed. ”
When Gao Zixia heard this, he hurriedly said, "Father, then this time the real king is missing, and the real princess is caught by the Jurchens." If we can save them, won't we be able to buy the real king for the second prince? ”
"Do you think the true king is really missing?" Gao Yunjin shook his head and said.
"Father, you ...... Could it be ......" Gao Zixia suddenly realized something, so he looked at his father in shock.
"Although the real king Zhu Xi is not very old, he is a very calm young man. If I hadn't worked with him for so many years, I wouldn't have believed that he was so young and so strategic. This time, the True King's desire to detour to the rear of the Jurchens to sneak attack was just a ploy of his. In fact, the real king's real purpose is to sneak into Blackwater City and steal the Jurchen offensive and defensive map."
"I think the True King must have arrived in Blackwater City a long time ago and lurked in the city. The real princess didn't know the truth, so she went to Blackwater City by mistake and was caught by the Jurchens as a hostage. So, you don't have to worry at all, the real king will find a way to save the real princess" Gao Yunjin finally told the truth. The purpose is to make his son die.
"Father, you always knew. Then why didn't you tell the truth when the real princess came to Youzhou City? In that case, the True Princess wouldn't have ventured to Blackwater City," Gao Zixia said angrily.
Seeing that his son was still obsessed, Gao Yunjin sighed and said, "Evil obstacles"
